COLLABORATION GIANADDA

Description

This film is screened in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Gianadda! The Swiss cultural institution in Martigny was founded by his brother Léonard Gianadda, a Swiss engineer, journalist, and patron, in memory of Pierre Gianadda. It was opened in 1978 and is now an internationally recognized museum and cultural center. In 1880, Auguste Rodin received his first state commission in Paris at the age of 40: The Gates of Hell, consisting of figures, some of which, like The Kiss and The Thinker, would establish his fame. He shared his life with Rose, his constant companion, when he met the young Camille Claudel, his most talented student, who soon became his assistant and then his lover. Ten years of passion, but also ten years of mutual admiration and complicity. After their separation, Rodin continued his work with determination. He faced rejection and enthusiasm, which his sculptures' sensuality provoked, and created with his Balzac, rejected during his lifetime, the undisputed starting point of modern sculpture. At 60, finally recognized, he becomes, alongside Michelangelo, one of the most famous sculptors. Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
